I am time; you can’t escape,
Only borrow, give, and take.
Countless seconds each pass by;
Catch and chase, or watch me fly.
I am time; your friend and foe.
I’ve seen you live and change and grow.
I take the things you like and love,
And weave them into thoughts thereof.
Use me wisely, oh human soul,
For I am strict within my role.
I leave regret to those around
Who keep their lives to money bound.
I am time; with knowledge vast,
I hold your future and your past.
So listen to me when I say:
Use me as if it’s your last day.
